'Take Off' with Ian Grosz

Flying Training Scholarships are now being oﬀered through a new aviation charity for 16 to 18 year old's in the Perth area of Scotland. Take Off is the new Charity looking to give something back to the aviation community in a part of the world where aviation is crucial to the economy and well being of the region.

Ian Grosz

How has this come about, who are the main supporters and sponsors? Well on this weeks Across The Pond segment of the Airplane Geeks podcast (www.airplalnegeeks.com), we talk to one of the driving forces behind the scenes Ian Grosz, a commercial helicopter and fixed wing pilot with a considerable amount of flying time and experience. Ian tells us why he fought to get this going along with his other Charity Trustee Howard Duthie, (a retired teacher and a keen microlight pilot). Supported by Perth and Kinross Education Authority and the Scottish Aero Club this is an absolutely fantastic opportunity for youngsters who may never have been given this chance.

About Me

I am an independent social media journalist and publisher and passionate about almost everything in aviation.
Its my objective to promote aviation to those interested and to inform those who seek to be more interested.
My love of aircraft and flying started when I was introduced to flying by my Dad who flew Fairey Barracuda in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm as a Telegraphist Air Gunner.
My own ability to be a pilot was short lived. I started my PPL and solo'd on 8 hours at Panshanger (EGLG) in the UK and later solo'ing in the USA at Arthur Dunn (X21) airfield in Florida. I got as far as my solo cross country flight.
I have energized my interest in aviation through my love of being involved in aviation through social media. I don’t seek to criticise or cause harm to any other views of aviation and want to promote a positive view of that capability to soar through the skies. Sometimes I won’t always agree and sometimes I’ll be in awe of other opinions, but I share that same passion ........ the love of flight.
